Environmental study of gold mining tailings in the Ponce Enriquez mining area (Ecuador)
As a result of the artisanal mining activities in Ecuador (specially in Ponce Enriquez mining area, province of Azuay), great quantities of mining wastes have been disposed, usually without adequate management standards. Consequent acid rock drainage has been responsible of surface and underground w...

As a result of the artisanal mining activities in Ecuador (specially in Ponce Enriquez mining area, province of Azuay), great quantities of mining wastes have been disposed, usually without adequate management standards. Consequent acid rock drainage has been responsible of surface and underground water and surface water bodies.
